The daily life of a woman during the Viking Age, 800 AD-1066, is extremely different compared to the everyday routine of woman in modern day. If I was living during this period, I would already be married and starting a family, considering young girls were wed between the ages of 12-15.

Being a wife and mother came with big responsibilities. I would be required to run a household, as this was usually the only job offered to a woman during this era. Directing a household included being in charge of the family finances, which included metals and stock (animals) and owning the keys to the family
